Reply to the comment left by Peter Fredericks at 27/05/2025 - 10:25Agree with you about it all EXCEPT you seem to trust that Reform would do something more. We can all solve the world's problems in theory, but don't put...

What would you ask Michael Gove, if you could?

17th February 2024, 2 years ago

I'd ask Gove why he doesn't just resign asap together with the rest of the his lazy squabbling rabble currently drawing large parliamentary salaries at public expense. Britain has a totally broken housing market and his government has paved the...

Landlords – Who gets your vote?

18th January 2024, 2 years ago

I think we shouldn't be thinking about what they say but what they do. Anyone can say a load of stuff that sounds good. I want to have people in charge of this country who have achieved something in real...

I'd really love to see leaseholds abolished because they are not fit for purpose in modern housing. But I have no confidence that this government could deliver anything useful. I expect either the usual U turn or else yet more...

Landlords have never had a fair deal in the UK. In the 70s a lot of tenants had first chance to buy the properties where they lived at a low price.And before that there were controlled rents which were never...

I think it'll be good to have more social housing,i don't like having to chuck people out when there isn't anywhere for them to go. it only helps those who want to portray us as bogeymen

I can't understand anyone wanting to vote for any party that has shown themselves disorganized, uninformed and, with ample evidence they have now show have misused billions of public money ie our taxes by handing big contracts to their mates...

This is a terrible idea. Where I live there are loads of empty flats. They have literally never been lived in because they're used by so-called "investors" who want somewhere to park their laundered money where their own governments can't...

Have you thought of putting the rent up to cover the costs? I appreciate this is hard to do for the tenant and your relationship with them, they sound like they have been fine all those years. But possibly that...

Cannot trust this government , lazy corrupt lot with policy to bash the small landlord and pretend this is helping tenants. .Small landlords like me have even lost our chance to sell up in UK and buy abroad because Brexit...

Reply to the comment left by CYRIL STALEY at 05/02/2022 - 14:27The actual problem is that housing is now in such a huge mess that it will cost a fortune to sort it out. As soon as Thatcher sold off...

I would go further and say the ONLY way to fight it is to accept that it is 100% a political issue. The govt can force a tiny group (small landlords) to pay the price, then the govt can brag...

Listening to Gove today on the Today Programme I thought that "Levelling up" seems to mean not spending any new money, not fixing any problems but shoving problems on someone else to carry. In this case, small landlords will be...

I agree with Jessie. Heat pumps only work with a well insulated house. Basically, they resemble a sort of reverse a/c unit, cooling down the outside and heating up the inside. They make a noise and feature a box on...

Reply to the comment left by Peter G at 14/10/2021 - 13:49I am not saying local councils are necessarily any good, but at least if residents don't like them, they can and do vote them out. My point is that...

Our friend is most scrupulous and never takes bribes. In fact, he is most concerned at the lowering of safety standards involved, as I am, but reporting to the authorities, (as can be deduced from listening to the ongoing Grenfell...

I can't speak for areas outside London, but where property prices are high, expensive "investment" development is widespread and it doesn't matter if anyone makes a home there or not. One also has to face the overwhelming evidence that the...
